[solved] Interpolating alpha on a timer within an actor receives event rule?

Lokitoes

Hi all,

Hopefully this will be my last dumb question like this. I have an actor interpolating onto the scene when a key is down. So when key is pressed, attribute of self alpha changes from 0 to 1. But I want it to disappear again on its own after, say, 10 seconds. So I put my interpolate of alpha attribute into a 10 second 'for' timer within the key rule, but it's not working? It interpolates in and then just stays there forever. I've tried with run to completion, I've tried without, I've tried it with an 'otherwise' state, but none are working. Is there something else I should be doing?

Have you tried using an 'after' timer instead of a 'for' timer ?

Yeah it seems to count that 10 seconds from the time the game is opened rather than from the time the button is pressed.

Nope, wait, I think I've got it. Thanks
